Career
Phoenix Home Care’s success is the latest in a career of achievements for the healthcare administrator. Upon graduation from college and graduate school, Phil Melugin worked at the companies Conservco and Intracor in Wichita, serving as a vocational counselor at both firms; assisting people who had been injured on the job in making their way back to the workforce. It was through these work experiences that Phil Melugin began to gain the personal skills and empathy required for working with individuals in need.
In 1992, Philip Melugin joined Oxford Health Care as a vice president.

With the founding of Phoenix Home Care, Phil Melugin has achieved a new level of expertise and influence in the healthcare industry, one of the fastest growing industries nationwide. Phoenix Home Care recently acquired ProActive Home Care, which allowed the company to expand even further in Kansas and has required even more qualified employees. According to Philip Melugin, workers who carry a geriatric specialty are especially sought after, as the need for senior care is quickly expanding with the aging of the baby boomer generation.
